Since intact adult male rats have higher GH pulse amplitude than do
castrated animals and since GH-releasing hormone (GHRH) secretion is
predominantly responsible for the production of these GH pulses, we
...

We have studied the regulation of somatostatin (SS) and growth
hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) gene expression in the brain of the
laboratory rat. We report that hypophysectomy in the adult male reduces SS
...

The secretory pattern of GH secretion is markedly sexually dimorphic in
the adult rat. The patterning of GH secretion is determined by the
coordinated activity of somatostatin (SS)- and GH-releasing hormone
...
